You know, you shouldn't trust ANYONE

Well, unless of course you're really tight with the person... Especially on the internet.

I know most of us know each other in real life, but there are other forums where the trust from this site moves over to other sites, and you let your guard down, and then you get burned really badly... Even if you think some people are friends, they aren't, as a matter of fact, they don't give a rats *** about you.

Just a lesson for the day.

Just got jacked by some guy I thought I was friends with for some parts... he became my friend, I trusted him, he got the parts, me = left empty handed. Can't do a damn thing about it either. Blah!

So the lesson is just don't trust others like you would well known folks from reputable sites like this.

Even then you take a risk. Some people aren't worth their weight in stepped in dog sh*t.

Simple formula for guaranteed success: lets meet, heres your part, give me your cash, walk away.

Yeah, you really gotta be careful. Especially nowadays. If something seems fishy, there's probably a legitimate reason behind it.
